Dota 2 beginners guide #4

Another 3 heroes for boosting!

You can look at 3 things infinitely: how fire burns, how water flows and how Doters tries to raise theirs solo-MMR.

But seriously, you can raise your rating with any hero. We have already described some of the characters in the previous parts ( part1 / part2 / part3 ) of the guide. Today we will examine three more, which, according to the author, you can effectively raise a solo-MMR.

Attention! First of all, this review is relevant for players with a low rating (~ 4000 MMR).


General information

As i said before, the best role for raising MMR – mid and carry. But! If you already have one, you should not take another. Take another role – it will increase your chances of winning.


Heroes

Juggernaut

Juggernaut carry

One of the best carry characters is perfect for raising MMR.
Pluses:

  • Strong in the early-game, very strong in mid-game and in Late-game
  • Built invulnerability to most spells (Blade Fury)
  • Has a great AoE heal
  • Easy to learn
  • Ultimate breaks invulnerability to magic
  • High attack speed

Minuses:

  • Small mana pool
  • Small HP pool

Skillbild

Juggernaut skills
Blade Fury allow to kill the enemy on the line and get the exp and gold.

 

Itembild

Juggernaut items
Instead Healing Salve in the beginning take a Tango and the Wraith Band. If you find it hard to stand on line to buy Morbid Mask and go to the forest. Juggernaut anyway will farm his basic artifacts, especially at low raiting games. And always carry a scroll of teleportation. You can use it during Blade Fury, which will allow you to leave the battlefield virtually guaranteed.


 Troll Warlord

Troll warlord carry

It is unrealistic strong hero, which is pleasant to play. Be prepared to hear the phrase “Troll imbalanced!”. But cast away those thoughts and you’ll be glad to see once again 25 points at the end of the match.
Pluses:

  • Very high attack speed
  • Well worth a mid and easy line
  • Good attack animation in melee and in ranged mode.
  • With Morbid Mask can kill Roshan solo by Battle Trance
  • Has a low mana cost and low cooldown on spells
  • Whirling Axes in melee mode does decent damage around him and forcing opponents to miss for 7 (!) Seconds

Minuses:

  • Vulnerable to the control before the BKB
  • Beginners need a bit of experience for this hero to cleverly switch between modes and not to be confused
  • Suffice questionable flaws, but not just Troll is one of the most powerful characters in the current Mete.

Lina

Lina

 

Also you can safely take the red beast and charge Laguna Blade in their faces. Strong hero at all stages, and closer to Late game she can produce good damage with her autoattacks.

Pluses:

  • Strong burst damage
  • AoE stun
  • A good ganking potential
  • With the dagger has a good split-push potential,
  • in late-game has a good attack speed
  • Good ranged attacks

Minuses:

  • Not the easiest character to learn
  • Very expensive spells
  • Vulnerability to the Ganges, as it does not have escape
  • Poor animation of Attack

Skillbild:

Lina skills


Itembild:

Lina items
As you can understand, the best role for Lina, if you’re going to raise a solo MMR, – MID, so the first thing is obviosly – purchase Bottle. If you are experiencing difficulties with the timing with Eul, then it can be ignored, but we do not recommend it – you will lost a huge potential.

 

Dota 2 beginners guide #3

Best Solo MMR Heroes

In our previous post (here and here) we covered the basics of the game, and also examined such a hero as the Storm Spirit.
In this article, we will focus on the characters like Templar Assassin and Slark that are perfect for raising solo Match Making Rating.

Lets Start:

Templar Assassin

Templar Assassina
Pluses

  • Good harass the enemy through passives with proper positioning
  • Refraction gives a lot of damage, and excellent survival
  • Very strong in the 1v1 fights at all stages of the game
  • Ultimate gives you a small passive overview

Minuses

  • Small attack range
  • Low amount of health and mana at the beginning
  • The average split-push capability. It becomes better after purchase Dagger.

Early Game

For the early game our BIS items is Phase boots and a Bottle.
Phase Boots give us mobility, if necessary, as well as a nice bonus damage.
And we need a bottle as the Templar Assassin is very mana dependent.

Late game

Core Items: Dagger and Desolator

Dagger will give us a much needed mobility to our character and Desolator coupled with our second skill allow us to deal incredible damage per 1 shot.


Slark

Slark

Pluses

  • Strong in all phases of the game
  • A good split-push potential
  • Very easy to master
  • It can go as the Middle, and on the top / bot
  • Perfect for a solo boost MMR

Minuses

  • Skill and builds an item depends on the situation

EARLY GAME

The bottle is our main instrument for almost the entire game. Since we are highly mobile, we must grasp every rune spawn.
Power Treads – Best item at begining becouse it gives us attack speed and we can, if necessary, obtain additional HP pool.

LATE GAME

Core items for Slark is Dagger (Shadow blade) and Abbissal blade.
Choose between Dagger and Shadow Blade depends on your skill, but it is recommended to take Dagger as the Shadow Blade is detected by wards and dust.
Abbisal blade the ideal weapon. It will allow us to make a number of strokes, thus we weaken an opponent and strengthen ourself.

 

Dota 2 beginners guide #2

Hello and welcome to my Second part of Dota 2 Boost guide.

Which Hero is better to raise a solo-rating? This question is asked by many players. In this guide, we do not reveal the secret of the guaranteed solo MMR growth. But we try to bring to you the basics and show the characters, which, in our opinion, will raise your solo MMR.


Basics:

  • Always choose Mid or Hard Carrie
  • Do not rely on the support team
  • Take the heroes who can turn the game in solo
  • When you choose Mid hero be polite and explain that you take him for the reason. If your argument was rejected take Hard carry. DO NOT TAKE 2 MID HEROES.
  • Never rely on Supports. If you want a Courier than by it by yourself.
  • Do not pay attention to the allies. Remember your goal – is a victory.

Heroes:

Storm Spirit

Storm Spirit

Short Guide

Best suited for “playing solo” and Farm. Storm is able to dominate the majority of the characters at the Middle, the main thing – to play aggressively or wait for the right moment for aggression.

Whatever role you have not done, the foundation is one – you are very manoeuvrable hero, so it must be used properly. Be sure to fly in the back to the enemy, there are usually supportes and guys with Blink Daggers

In a fight 1 on 1, this hero deals significant amount of damage.If your enemy left the line, than you can Push the tower and freefarm creeps.

When you playing as Storm Spirit, than you must always Gank enemies. Later you should be a part of a Team, and it’s your work to initiate fights.


 

Pluses

  • Excellently harass the enemy due to his passives
  • High mobility with the Ultimate
  • High split push potential
  • Very strong in the 1v1 fights at the beginning and end of the game
  • Excellent initiation

Minuses

Dota boost

If you want to start boosting by yourself you must mastered the Game. Here i’ll try to tell about every aspect of Dota 2, that can help to start your way to the top.

To become a boosting star you must always choose Carry or Mid heroes.

Know your role

 

dota2 good support

When you choose a hero you also choose a play style. If you chose the Carry should not rush into action at the first levels, better pay more attention on farm to become stronger to Late-game. Carry is the key to the success of the game. In the beginning, they require supports services, as well as in a large quantity of gold. Get it – your concern. The main inflow is to farm creeps and lasthits towers. Remember that the farm in the forest is less favorable than on the line, so if you drove into the woods, do not linger there. It is better to change the line and continue to collect the gold.

Every death is critical

In Dota2 you can not afford to die under any pretext. At death, you lose a huge chunk of gold, and you can not farm and gain experience during the time of rebirth. Remember also that the most important target on the battlefield is the enemy Carry. We need to kill it as often as possible to its potential remain undisclosed. But do not forget that this rule also works for you.

Lasthit towers

on each of the enemy lines stands a potential bags of gold – TowersIf you destroy it then to your whole team will be added a nice boost in goldbut if you Lasthit tower then you will have a solid bonus award. Know your damage to the tower and try to inflict a final blow.
The main goal of the game – to destroy the enemy Ancient. To reach it you need to destroy a minimum of 3 towers. Whenever possible, try to damage enemy buildings, as they do not healing until the end of the match, then sooner or later you will destroy it.
In the early stages of the game do not even think to beat the tower alone, because it does a lot of damage in a certain radius of itself. Damage tower only under the protection of creeps. But it is worth remembering that the tower immediately starts to attack you instead creeps if you caused damage to enemy hero while within its range.
Protect your tower to prevent the enemy team even closer to you by Farm.

Recap:

  1. Play safely
  2. Farm farm farm
  3. Destroy towers
